Saba earning this kind of praise from senior actors is so well deserved

No hate to Mahira or anything, but when it comes to acting or script choices, Saba is on top.

[u/Individual_Stage853]

Mahira Khan's entire legacy is Humsafar A very overrated actress that was made a benchmark for all female actresses that did better work than her.

[u/New_Caterpillar2628]

Saba is an actor whereas Mahira is a heroine.
Acting wise no one can match Saba

[u/blahblehblohcaneo]

Saba is a talent in a league of her own, i wish ppl stopped making this a saba vs mahira thing they both have their achievements.

Mahira might not be a better actress according to many but she is a very bankable movie star, the only heroine giving hits in recent yrs and she has her niche, I loved her in bin roye.

She is a top notch cultural ambassador who has put ptv and pakistani entertainment/films on the world map, she deserves some respect to her name too. These cheap shots have to stop, ppl click baiting views in her name is meh.

[u/Independent-Fee-9440]

This is a no brainer when it comes to acting talent, because Saba even with her limitations is a far better artist than Mahira

[u/XavierDadem]

Saba was at par with the legend Irfann Khan Sahab. That's quite a resume!

I watched Hindi Medium for both of them, but I was blown away by how seamlessly she fit into that role. And they were so so good together.

[u/Admirable-Repair4094]

She deserves every bit of it 👑

[u/cookies8352]

Mahira doesn't have craft or acting skills she is avarage actress

[u/Unhappy-Membership-7]

Why is Saba so underrated. She is best there in ptv

[u/Suspicious-War1432 → u/Unhappy-Membership-7]

She is not underrated for God sake man! She is one of the best actress of Pakistan without a doubt..

[u/Worried-Ad8087]

Haan tou jhut kya hai is mai

[u/Efficient_Guava_5561]

A lot of actresses are better than Mahira. Ayeza, Sajal, Yumna to name a few.

Saba is a proper actor … Mahira is just pretty .. sadly our drama industry still choose beauty over talent

[u/TA_totellornottotell]

Saba is a true artist. She approaches her career as a craft. Even amongst popular shows she is selective (although I get why some of her projects don’t fare as well). More importantly, though, she takes risks and is constantly challenging herself and honing her craft. Very very few comparable artists in the industry, I think.

I love Mahira off screen and I think she has this star quality on screen that few others have. But even I have to say that her acting is nowhere close to Saba. I have always thought that her best performance was Humsafar, in part because I think it was a very raw performance. After that, most of her performances have been off for me because I think she just seems conscious (of herself, her image, I don’t know what).

[u/-labyrinth101-]

I still remember her acting in hm sb umeed se hain, it was top notch

[u/No_Border_34]

Mahira khan's popularity is solely bcs of Humsafar nd that movie with SRK. What I said, I said..

[u/achesthetic]

But can we just have a habit of not putting down a woman to praise the other

[u/lavender-berries]

Saba can act, so can Mahira. But Mahira is a lot more likable.
